Listen here. relationships are long and there are also ebbs and flows, right? So I think sometimes people who date don't realize that, you know, in long-term relationships, you're going to have deep, deep dips. And you're going to have a bad year. You're going to have a bad... I tell people and folks think that this is harsh. It's like, you're going to have a bad decade. Yeah.

You know, I mean, I've been married to my husband for 30 plus years. I mean, the truth is, if you add it all up, even the year... Yeah. If the odds were you're going to be married to your partner for 50 years, and 10 of those years could be bad, you know? That's- You'd sign up for it. You'd sign up for it. You'd sign up for it. And that's really how it works out.

Please don't call it a ride. That is not a frigging ride. Whenever a man goes up, you have never said to an astronaut, boy, what a ride. You know, we duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day, pretty much. No one called that a ride. It was called a flight. It was called a journey because a ride implies that it's something frivolous. or something that's lighthearted.

There was nothing frivolous about what we did and the machine that we were on and what it took for the people to get that machine up and running, get us up and get us back down safely. So, you know, I'm very disappointed and very saddened by it. And I also say this, that what it's doing to inspire other women and young girls, please don't ignore that.

I've had so many women and young girls reach out to me and men, too, by the way, men, too. Everyone. Wow. I never thought I could do that. But I see you doing it at this stage of my life. Who would have thunk it? Not me. And how inspired they are.

heard Amanda Wynn tell me in the interview that she's conducting science experiments on this voyage, which I don't think a lot of people knew. They thought it was just six women going up into space for a joyride.

That's right. Right, right, right. But he's speaking to the perspective and some of the narratives that are out there that I was hoping to correct with this interview. And I'm glad that you're here to help me correct that narrative. So explain to our audience why even a trip like this one, All the trips that we take in the space benefit mankind.

So it benefits humankind. And I'm going to keep correcting the mankind and the man-made and the man-missions because this is exactly what this mission is about, is expanding the perspective of who does space.

Because when the system is stacked against you, it's hard to feel like anything you do matters. It's hard to feel like we matter in this democracy. And it is easy to give in to the despair. And I can tell you, I know that when I was waitressing and struggling to put food on the table, for a while there, I did. I tried to stop caring.

I tried to just keep my head down, work my shifts, and accept that this is just how things are. But that is no way to live, Arizona. It's no way to live. What I do know is that we don't have to live like this. And in fact, we cannot live like this anymore.
